Axle Trac-Loc

[rullemj]

Could someone tell me if the trac-loc limited-slip option was specific for Dana 44 models or was it avaliable on the 35 axle aswell? If so, is there a way to check if it's working?

it was also available on the dana 35.

 

to check if you have one without removing the diff cover, jack the rear of the truck so both tires are off the ground.  you may need to put the truck in neutral...  spin one tire clockwise, if the other tire spins counter clock wise it is an open diff, if they spin the same direction it a limited slip, (or locked, spooled)

 

if it is the original LSD odds are it needs to be rebuilt.

I'll have a look tomorrow after work. It's got the 44 after all, just came back from playing around in the garage.

 

What's this? my 88 doesn't have it, at least I haven't seen it B)

 

And under the carpets... No rust on either side.

Do you have cruse control? that should be the control servo for the cruse control.

Yup, sure do. You learn something new everyday! Thanks for the help :clapping:

As a sidenote, almost every export MJ either got the AMC-20 or D44 rear axle as standard equipment. There was one 1987 export truck here (from Norway IIRC) that had an AMC-20.
